A well scripted evaluation of this season, and a statistical representation of the 10 teams better than 6, better than 14.
Laugh away, you cynics. You see Carlos Boozer and Dwight Howard looking up at a headline about winning the NBA championship, and you laugh. You think to yourself, "Self, there's no way Tracy McGrady or Chris Paul can win it all this year."
You laugh, but you shouldn't. Ten teams have a legitimate shot at winning this title -- the top seven of the West and the top three in the East. The elite tier of the NBA is just that crowded this year, and it should be no surprise to see confetti raining down on any of those 10 faces come June.
First, let me show you why this postseason is so wide open.

Gotta love the description of the South West teams in that Fig
For those keeping score, the Magic are in the North East "Cluster of 7."
Orlando's a middle-class man's Detroit at this point...
I agree.
